The comparative advantage of China's labor price is the main factor for China's foundry industry to maintain profitability. However, the advantage of labor price is not sustainable for a specific enterprise. With the development of China's economy, the comparative advantage of labor price will definitely weaken.

Now, due to the rise in labor prices, many companies have been troubled by falling profit margins. Secondly, because the cost advantage stems from labor prices is the advantage of China plus export-oriented enterprises over similar production enterprises in other countries, rather than the unique advantage of a specific enterprise in China. Therefore, within the scope of domestic competitors, this overall advantage does not constitute the competitive advantage of specific enterprises.

The core competitiveness of a successful OEM company is to maximize the compression of labor costs, and this maximization of value often requires the strictest management, and many contradictions arise.

For enterprises operating under the OEM business model, they must implement an operation strategy of three highs and one low, namely high delivery speed, high quality, high flexibility and low cost. Therefore, using the human wave tactics to shift 24 times, mass production in multiple varieties and batches, rapid conversion, and the product life cycle is relatively short, from order acceptance to delivery, allowing customers to seize the opportunity.

OEM companies have a distinctive feature, that is, each position is the parts and screws on the entire company's large machines. The processes are simple and repetitive, but they must be enjoyed and follow the steps. The management model is basically quasi-militarized or militarized, with strict hierarchical system and discipline, high pressure and high obedience that makes employees' work behavior seriously lack freedom and personality.

In OEM companies, high-pressure management is everywhere, such as equipped with collective dormitories, collective canteens, etc. This not only ensures that employees can go to work on time at any time, but also requires that many brand customers place orders, which facilitates the maximum protection of the company's efficiency pursuit.

Judging from the logic of new institutional economics, the reason why enterprises exist is because there are transaction fees in the market. The internal orders and obedience systems of enterprises can save a large amount of transaction fees from market bargaining to ensuring the execution of contracts, thereby reducing uncertainty and various risks in the production process. This centralized management is nothing more than internalizing transaction fees and thus achieving cost control to the pinnacle.

OEM enterprises are at the end of the industrial chain and rely on compressing labor costs to make profits, resulting in the development of their management model to the extreme, which promotes the alienation of people and the semi-militarized collective dormitory life. Overtime, high pressure, and high obedience working model that is voluntary on the surface but is actually difficult to get rid of. The simplicity and insignificance of individuals on the assembly line that never stops. For every employee on the OEM assembly line, this is the worst paradise and the best hell.

What makes Jiang Feng very depressed is that most of the domestic and foreign companies are OEM factories at present. Especially Taiwanese and Japanese companies, they are basically the most mean and capable of squeezing factories. People call those companies sweatshops!

But even so, for their own political achievements, government officials in various places are still introducing such sweatshops and giving tax-free benefits that make national enterprises jealous of them. Jiang Feng couldn't help thinking in his heart, wouldn't it be much better if you guys could give my company such treatment?

...

Just as Jiang Feng was thinking about these questions, his phone rang. Jiang Feng answered the phone and saw Ferguson's phone. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the old Lord was looking for him at this time.

The phone was connected. After the two chatted for a while, Jiang Feng finally figured out why Ferguson made this call. All of this was related to Ronaldo. To be precise, it was related to Ronaldo's contract renewal.

The Ronaldinho family is known to the world because of Ronaldinho's superb skills, but in another field related to football, the Ronaldinho family is also famous, which is football brokerage and football industry. In this field, Ronaldinho's agent brother Robert Assis, and his personal assistant sister Daisy are becoming popular stars.

In December 2004, at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Paris, France, the first sentence Ronaldo, who won this honor for the first time, said on the stage: "I want to thank my family, because without them, I would not be able to stand here today."

The Brazilian’s emotional speech is not a polite word, because only he knows best: all family members, including his brother, sister, mother, and nephew, provide great help to him. In Ronaldo’s life, football is everything, which is not an exaggeration. In his own words, "I just need to play football with my heart, and my family will solve other things for me."

Brother Robert is Ronaldo's agent, and all negotiations with the club are completed by Robert; his sister Daisy is the only college graduate in the family. She has a strong English proficiency and is responsible for Ronaldo's sponsorship contract and Ronaldo's off-site schedule. She even plays the role of Ronaldo's press officer; her nephew's main job is to be a driver for Ronaldo (Rolbo's driver's license in Brazil was revoked a long time ago, and applying for a driver's license in England requires a very strict exam. People like Ronaldo have no time to recite the legal terms, so in desperation, Ronaldo can only give up the fun of driving and be done by his nephew). In addition, he is also a guide for Ronaldo's leisure and relaxation.

In fact, Ronaldo did not handle all matters by his family from the beginning. During his time in Paris, Ronaldo's agent in France was named Eric Rovyi. This agent had a very big appetite for commissions and even went to court with several clubs. At that time, Robert had also considered asking his younger brother to follow Beckham and find a professional agency to manage everything, but Ronaldo's overly corrupt private life and extremely bad relationship with the coach made Robert dispel this idea. The reason is simple: only his family can do it to regulate Ronaldo's private life. The agency can indeed provide professional services, but there are many private things that are only suitable for family members to handle.

Overall, in the past two years, the team around Ronaldo had a pleasant cooperation with Manchester United. In addition to the fact that Ronaldo's sister had made Manchester United angry because she arranged Ronaldo's schedule, and Ronaldo's nephew always took Ronaldo to linger in nightclubs, which caused countless troubles.

...

Originally, after winning the league championship, Sir Alex was in a very happy mood because he was one step closer to his dream in life: Manchester United has won seventeen top league titles in England so far (seven in the first place in the first place in the first place in the Premier League and ten in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in the first place in Liverpool. Not only that, Manchester United also hopes to win the fourth Champions League title in the history of the club, and is also only one step away from the four Champions League titles in the old rival Liverpool.

Moreover, in this Champions League final, the opponent is Liverpool. If you can step on the opponent's body and win the fourth Champions League championship, and then tie the opponent's Champions League championship, it will undoubtedly be a very happy thing.

However, after only three days of happiness, Ferguson's good mood disappeared.

Ronaldo's agent Robert came to the door.

Before he could speak, Ferguson knew what he was going to do.

At the end of last year, just after Ronaldo won the European Footballer, Robert found Ferguson, hoping to improve his treatment for Ronaldo.

Since Ronaldo joined the team, he has signed two contracts in total, one of which was signed when he first joined. At that time, Jiang Feng provided Ronaldo with a maximum salary of 100,000 pounds a week, which made Ronaldo very satisfied.

Later, with the team's performance rising, Ronaldo's personal performance outstanding, and Abu's gold dollar football pushed up the players' salary and benefits, he was no longer satisfied with this salary, so his brother Robert found the team to discuss improving the contract.

At that time, everything was in the upward period of Manchester United, so they naturally fulfilled their salary requirements for Ronaldo. So everyone was happy. Ferguson offered him a weekly salary of 110,000 pounds, allowing Ronaldo to continue to stay with Manchester United.

The second salary increase is now very close. This summer, this time, Manchester United raised his salary for Ronaldo. After the salary increase, Ronaldo's weekly salary reached 130,000 pounds. At that time, Ferguson raised his salary for the first team of Manchester United. Ferguson thought that this contract renewal would allow the team's lineup to stabilize for at least three years.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that after half a season, Ronaldo’s agent brother jumped out and asked for a salary increase again while Ronaldo had just won the player’s personal honor Grand Slam.

Ferguson didn't even talk to Robert De. In his mind, this agent's greed has surpassed all agents. How could he come out and ask for a change in the contract just half a season after renewing the contract? If he agreed, I am afraid that the agents of other players will follow suit. Sooner or later, Manchester United will re-emerge the economic crisis because of satisfying this group of greedy "ten percent".

Robert originally thought Ronaldo had just won the best player in Europe, the Grand Slam of the European Footballer and the World Footballer. He was in the limelight. When he went to find Ferguson himself, the other party would not dare to refuse to follow. Unexpectedly, Ferguson was even tougher than he expected. Both sides spoke kindly in the previous few dealings, and the negotiations went smoothly, and the result also satisfied him. He thought Ferguson had always been like this...

The club refused to talk to Robert again, and the matter was put aside.

But was Ferguson so stupid that he thought Robert had just become honest?

So he has been waiting for the day to come.

Ronaldo will not raise salary. There are few players in the world who jump out of this matter by themselves, otherwise there would be no such agent. Robert, after being turned away from Ferguson last time, learned his lesson this time. He studied Ferguson and found that he was soft but not hard.

Now Ronaldo has helped Manchester United win the league championship, which is another three consecutive championships, so he feels that the time is ripe and finds Ferguson again. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy for Bing, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
